Brooks and Cotton. Taro Takizawa, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

Often, we think of artists as driven to create. In fact, says printmaker Taro Takizawa, the quiet times are crucial as well. \u201cI always feel like I should be productive in the studio,\u201d he says. \u201cWe are educated and trained to feel this way, I believe. I came to accept that sometimes I just need to stop making so that I can input new ideas and inspirations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taro\u2019s work is part of Pattern Play<\/em>, a group exhibition running through Saturday, June 20, at Penland School of Craft\u2019s FOCUS Gallery in Bakersville. An assistant professor of Art at UNC\u2013Wilmington, he will also teach a workshop at Penland\u2014Color and Abstraction: Printing with Chipboard<\/em>\u2014July 12\u201324.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy work is heavily related to nature,\u201d he says, \u201chow I interpret nature. A lot of my fascinations are toward water: its ripples, waves, reflections, and other light and shadows in nature. I always liked looking at moving water\u2014the ocean, rivers, lakes\u2014since I was growing up in Japan. During my busy life, I try to cherish and take in as much as I can when I am out on a walk, hike or bike ride. I try to be present, aware, and notice things that might interest me. I\u2019m usually obsessed with the overwhelming patterns in nature and things we don\u2019t get to see in urban areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taro uses various printmaking techniques, but recently he has found a way to bring another element into his process. \u201cMy main technique for the last few years has been relief printing using recycled chipboard (as opposed to linoleum or wood to carve),\u201d he says, \u201cprinting on handmade Japanese paper.\u201d Primarily a printmaker in 2D, Taro also takes part in large-scale wall installations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen selecting work for the Pattern Play<\/em> exhibition, I was looking for innervating pieces that were unique in material and technique while relating to each other through luminous color and dynamic surfaces,\u201d says Betsy DeWitt, Penland Gallery manager. \u201cBeyond the surface are carefully considered and intricately rendered works that reference ancestral tradition, historic techniques and cultures spanning the globe. Taro\u2019s angular and undulating prints are fresh in form while paying homage to Japanese block prints (Ukiyo-e)<\/em> of the 17th to 19th centuries. His low-relief prints reference their historic counterparts while using a contemporary recycled material\u2014chipboard\u2014in lieu of wood as the printing block.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summer Heat Never Ends. Taro Takizawa, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Born and raised in Japan, Taro says it was elements of the culture there that formed the foundation for his art practice. \u201cI grew up playing outdoors and reading manga (Japanese comic books), and was influenced by the Japanese aesthetics, which everyone does if you are raised in Japan,\u201d he adds. \u201cBoth of my parents studied abroad, which planted an idea that I wanted to study abroad, too, so I moved to the US to pursue my higher education after finishing my high school. My dad did watercolors for one of his hobbies, and I was always drawing, apparently, even before I can remember. My drawings, by high school, were highly influenced by manga, which is really different from what I am doing now.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the aim of a tenure-track academic position at UNC-Wilmington, Taro has completed residencies and taught at various institutions as a visiting artist\/teacher. \u201cI feel like every move gave me different challenges, but also some amazing experiences and people I would never meet if I stayed in one place,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

He finds that concentrated studio time, however, helps his creativity in the most productive way. \u201cI can take risks, make small leaps and discover a new trajectory,\u201d he says. \u201cMost of the time this happens in residencies where I am away from my daily life, in a completely new place, with new people, a different studio, a different environment. This sets me up for trying out something new, and I am usually surprised with how things unfold: some won\u2019t work, and something I never really thought of can stick. It\u2019s really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2022, he began a yearlong residency at the Lawrence Arts Center, in Kansas\u2014an experience that gave him the satisfaction of feeling like a full-time artist. \u201cUntil then, I was without a dedicated studio space, and that residency opportunity really helped me get back into my studio practice and catapulted me into my career,\u201d he says. \u201cThe following year, I returned to academia as a visiting faculty member at UNC-Chapel Hill, and this was another unexpected but fruitful year easing back into teaching because they had really amazing students to work with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taro believes that art is a lifestyle. \u201cAn art career is about small steps and small detours, and the people in the field who help each other,\u201d he says. \u201cI am privileged to get to meet and know amazing people in the field, and I also want to contribute to arts and education so that more people feel like they belong here.\u201d<\/p>\n
